Book of Jubilees (Lesser Genesis) — an ancient Jewish text of 50 chapters, canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and among Beta Israel, also called the Book of Division.
Also known as the Book of Division or Lesser Genesis, Jubilees retells Genesis and early Exodus history with angelic revelation, a jubilees calendar, legal teachings and chronology that shaped Jewish and Ethiopian Christian traditions. This edition is useful for biblical studies, comparative canon research, and readers exploring Second Temple literature and Ethiopian Orthodox canon formation. Includes cultural context, translation notes and a reference to Edward Laning’s related painting.
